I'll ask a couple hundreds of my relatives if they agree. <g>
WRT automated testing, I have yet to explore the matter in detail, but I
must say that I am not really confident that these techniques can help
much in the field of interactive, mostly small applications. Perhaps,
with a medium to large system, it could make sense to devise a strategy
for automated testing, but I don't know how far the tools have gone
since last time I checked, quite some time ago.

AutomatedQA's AQTest, with the scripting capabilities it has, seems like
an interesting tool to consider...
Ciao
